The Spears tour of Europe

Circus is this year's show from Britney Spears. It started out in the US in the spring then made the leap over the Atlantic to Europe for a couple of months. After draining the pockets of prepubescent tots everywhere it will return to the US for a second run in August.

There have been reports that Britney Spears isn't so much singing her way through the tour as in fact dancing her way through it: the singing was alldone some months ago and kept on tape. However, given her background as a dancer rather than a singer, this probably isn't all that much of a surprise.

It's also most unlikely to be a surprise to her fans: we're not really talking about people lining up to hear a world class voice here, rather, to see the whole spectacle.
